George,

Bern Ewert's charges against Al were mean and reflected more on Bern than on Al. Al should NOT descend to Bern's level.

Al doesn't need to tell voters about Bern's qualities. They can easily see for themselves.

I'm one voter who hates to see both candidates descend to the same low level of personal recriminations.
